Agreed. Stick to the facts.

Four games from potential new ownership.

I’m officially no longer calling Val a write off. Going into the last game of the season with a chance is a successful season.

I’m gobsmacked to see a club official endorsing messaging like in the attached. Lynch mobs? Grenades? War? Extraordinarily divisive language to be using against customers. If there’s ever been evidence the club see this as “us versus them” then this is it. They simply do not understand.

I truly cannot believe the board are letting him keep speak to people. He’s a total liability with a microphone in front of him.

Can’t possibly have every BRFCS member having a vote, there’s 10x more votes here than there is within the coalition itself. Whilst the vote has to close to get an answer, my advice would be to reopen the vote after and as the coalition develops, people will be able to move their votes from yes to no (or vice versa). If a clear majority no longer back the coalition, then BRFCS doesn’t.

The academy hasn’t been graded any higher in the last 15 years. It’s no better rated by the independent assessors than it was 15 years ago. We simply use the players more. Which leaves 15 years of ownership resulting in one positive: The Ewood Express.

You still can’t tell us one thing that has improved at this football club in 15 years.

+ aren’t signing ready made players.

The latter. I obviously know the number of regular users and if everyone votes, it will be (to my knowledge) the largest poll of Rovers fans.

Thats kind of exactly the point. BRFCS isn’t a group, it’s a resource for Rovers fans to have discussion. And at the time of writing, 97.65% of its members back the aims of the coalition.

It’s quite simple - they’ve been here 15 years or so, can someone name me on thing that has been significantly improved during that period as a direct result of Venkys? I’ll take one, just one.

It’s so very sad.

Let's not worry about the details

It doesn’t work. If there’s minutes, they don’t say anything. This is part of the reason I dislike the combined Sheff Weds Trust x Rovers Trust statement. It talks about more communication. Pasha has been here 15 years. Waggott has been here 7 years. Yasir has been here 5 years. They’ve had more than enough time to talk and engage with fans and the attempts that have been made have proven to be meaningless. Can we stop trying to meet these people? They’re only asking for meetings to try and stop pressure on themselves.

From memory Yasir said he had “received an apology”, not “WATR have apologised for lying”. It wouldn’t surprise me if WATR apologised for publicly saying it as it caused so much drama. THIS IS PURELY SPECULATION ON MY OWN PART AND NOT FACT BEFORE SOMEONE TRIES TO SUE ME.

Yep

I’m reasonably confident this isn’t the same person.

Some thoughts: 1) NAPM/Do not attend isn’t a viable protest. Not enough will do it, the vocal majority are already doing it. There’s been fans surveyed and then response is “don’t tell us what we can’t do”. It will cause division and make us look weak. 2) Stopping games will work, but will need hundreds of people committed. Anything less and the fans that do commit are at risk of a criminal record. How committed are you? 3) Any official protest needs someone to lead and be responsible for it. If something happens at that protest and all reasonable precautions where not taken, the organiser is partly responsible and stood up in court with their job, home and family on the line. Are you willing to have your name on the list as the organiser?

There’s no point targeting the owners, they haven’t been here in 13 years, aren’t coming back and are royalty in their homeland.

Interesting, they’ve opted to give fans a hall pass to vent their frustrations at such an important time.

The statement doesn’t say BRFCS.

PR 101 - Don’t release statements without being prepared to release a prompt follow up or conclusion.

Any further on finding out what the emergency meeting was?
